The official Extended Editions of director Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy — set 60 years after the events of The Hobbit — will also be screening in back-to-back-to-back marathon runs on Saturday, Dec. 8, and Sunday, Dec. 9. Tickets for those events, which will likely run for a total of over 12 hours, are also going on sale at the same time as the Hobbit tickets: Nov. 7, at noon ET.

At this rate, in anticipation of The Hobbit: There and Back Again opening on July 18, 2014, fans will be buying tickets six months in advance for ultra-marathon events that will last a whole weekend and require fans to pack their own second breakfasts.
